Use these tips and tricks to create interesting special effects with watercolor. Techniques include wipeouts, lifting, salt, plastic wrap, exacto knife, spattering, and spraying. You'll also learn how to use masking fluid. Thanks to my husband Jeff for putting this together, especially the introduction, which was a technical nightmare.

Frisket brush is an old #4 round brush. I have used it again and again for over a year. Clean your brush as thoroughly as you can after use, but expect that it will eventually become rubbery.
